Suggested Usage Instructions

Hold the center of the pen and turn the bottom clockwise to start the flow of product. When using for the first time, turn approximately 5 times.

Use the brush tip to apply brightener to the inner corner of the eyes and under the eyes to disguise dark circles and instantly "wake up" your look. Gently pat eye area to blend.

To brighten facial shadows and give your complexion a fresh-faced glow, lightly sweep the brightener on all the areas you want highlighted-along the brow bones, sides of nose, top of cheekbones or around the lips.

Apply before or after foundation application for easily blendable illumination. You can also reapply throughout the day to give your complexion a quick brightening boost.

It's a good start...
I definitely think this product has great potential. I, too, have dark purple under-eye coloring that requires Michaelangelo skills to cover up. Unfortunately, this is a genetic condition that no amount of sleep seems to remedy. Since I was 15, I've dabbled in every kind of under-eye concealer out there. Once I figured out how well the original well rested worked, I perfected its application and chalked the rest up to something I would just have to deal with.
When this new product came out, I FLIPPED. I was also expecting the same great results I get with the Well-Rested powder. I still get great results but that is by using this product IN CONJUCTION WITH the original power. Here's what I've found:
1.The color of the liquid form is not thick enough to cover up the discoloration. Simply put, the color is too sheer to do much concealing.
2. The light reflecting properties in the pen work better to brighten the eyes than the original well-rested powder. You can see this once applied and blended by moving your head up and down in the bathroom mirror (yes, it looks silly :)). The powder does more of the concealing duties.
3. The convenience of twist and apply is just awesome.
What I have found to work best for me is to use the pen and powder together. I apply my BE foundation first and let that do some of the concealing. Then I apply a thin layer of the brightening pen in the inner corners and darkest points of my eyes, using my middle finger to "pat and blend" outward towards the outer corners (where the dark circles aren't as dark). I let that dry for a few minutes, then go back to those darkest points with the Well Rested Powder, and fast and flawless blending brush, and apply in the same pattern as the liquid stuff. In 5 minutes, I'm done. The WR powder just finishes off where the liquid left off, which is in concealing the dark purple coloring. I use a fraction of the powder that I used to AND I save a lot of time.
I'm not sure if that is how the Well-Rested Face and Eye Brightener pen was intended to work or if the pen is mostly designed for the dark circles of lack of sleep (as opposed to the genetic kind). Either way, I will be purchasing in the future!

I have always had problems with those purple/black bags under my eyes. When I found this Well Rested pen I was super excited. It covers those bags under my eyes with ease, and adds this brightness under my eyes that make my eyes pop. I love this pen, and will continue purchasing it. I know a comment below mentions that it doesn't cover like the powder, I have not used the powder, so I can't say. But in my opinion this pen covers just fine. (I have fair skin)

Not what I expected...
SO, I thought, WOW! A new product to be comparable to the wonderful well-rested powder version. Sadly, I was disappointed. I use well-rested to cover the purple bags under my eyes daily and it works great! This product does not provide the same coverage as the original well-rested. It really only has the brightening effect w/out the color correction. It is very sheer and the click pen is horrible, my first pen did not work, so I had to exchange it for a new one. Think twice before purchasing. Try stroke of Light, it is fabulous!!

Shining New Product
I bought this about a month ago and I have used it to lighten and brighten my eyes and cheeks. I dab it on under my eyes and on my cheek bones and pat it in, I absolutely love it! It brightens my eyes and gives a nice glimmer on my cheek bones! I would absolutely recommend it and will definitely keep this stocked with all my other BE essentials!!!!!!!
